i have the enterprise license but am totally confused about the licensing.
i´m pretty worried about the possibilities of octane not being able to start due to internet being down.
its a scenario i cannnot allow to happen.
first time i have read about the offline mode. anyone care to tell me how do i work offline with the license i have?
But a usb dongle and the usb becomes license sever, so no internet connection is needed.
Where can I get information on using the USB Dongle?
I did not find instructions for installing special software.
I asked support
several times why switching to a USB dongle license
deprives me of the benefits of Ent lic (network rendering, access to LiveDB)?
I have an octane usb dongle, but activating it is a dumb idea with existing limitations.
Because I can’t return the 'online' license back.
Make at least the ability to untie to associate a license an offline license through a USB dongle endless
Yep, it is such a joke that they keep parroting that the dongle--
which permanently invalidates features some need---is the solution to making sure that you can continue to render in an area with periodic internet outages.
What a fucking joke.

Network rendering should work in offline mode or with the USB key. Let me look into this further. Thank you for the feedback.

oh, sorry
my mistake
Network render not specified in USB dongle restrictions.
There was a question with converting the license back if there is no way to make access to LiveDB / ORC
thanks

ORC is bring phased out by RNDR now that it’s live, which we will make sure works with USB licensing. With ORC you don’t need to send from the app, you can drop in an orbx. Even so, let me check whether there is a way to get liveDB sorted out when you are online.
